Misery Made Beautiful

I am fragile fantasy
fabric flesh awaiting existence,
sketched and designed by hands
open palm in finger weave.

I await the love
a creation of something more
through godly tips that yield the power
where the blade can wield freedom
to soften the edges, and drip the dapper dimples
or slice me in half, scissor blank breath.

Oh reverence, give me life,
dress me up to kiss glue-mouth eyes
and you will feel my liquid dreams
drizzle slow from sheet milled soul
to possibilities beyond imagination;
And, if you listen ever carefully
press your ear to my flat-rolled heart,
I will sing for you
and dance recycled symmetry
in a chorus line of traced, white-laced replicas
of misery made beautiful.

But, I am mime, restless, thin-skinned
colourless and still,
a fragment of memory
legs like knotted rope.
For, everyone knows
that paper dolls can't talk.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
